ABSTRACT:
In an article orienting, feeding and wrapping apparatus, a conveyor apparatus for orienting a plurality of disoriented wafer-like articles into single rows for wrapping. A conveying mechanism has receptacles for moving the articles in single rows extending transverse to the path of movement. An orienting mechanism forms a plurality of upwardly open channels extending parallel to the path of movement above the conveying mechanism and in which the disoriented articles are deposited. The channels are formed in part by vertically oscillating walls for agitating the disoriented articles and causing the articles to fall edge-wise through the channels into oriented rows in the receptacles of the conveying mechanism. The oriented rows then are fed through a series of sorting, wrapping and labeling wheels and ultimately to a discharging mechanism for discharging the sorted, wrapped and labeled rows of articles to a packaging station.
